Mgs 4

Konami’s announced a $232.8 million profit for the first half of the year, with the firm’s video game business posting $268 million in operating income. More than 4 million units of MGS4 – more than a third of total game sales – were sold in the period, with the games division pulling in about $950 […]

Speaking to Eurogamer at Games Convention, Hideo Kojima said he’s had enough of people asking about MGS4 on 360. Not entirely surprising, really. “I’ve been doing a lot of interviews and stage shows, and half the questions are like ‘Will MGS4 be coming out on 360 or other formats?’, and in the near future I […]

Konami’s put out two new camo suits for Snake in MGS4, according to this PS3F piece, namely “Laughing Camo” and “Raging Camo”. If you approach enemies wearing either one, they laugh or “rage,” as you’d expect. Both suits are free. It’s a slow Friday, OK?

Konami’s announced that there’s going to be Tokyo dates in the Kojima World Tour added for this weekend, June 28 and 29. Hideo’s not going to be there, from the look of it, but fans may be able to get art director Yoji Shinkawa’s autograph if they’re fast enough. That’s a sketchy translation, but it […]

According to IGN, Famitsu’s reporting that MGS4 came close to hitting 500,000 sales in Japan in its first week of release, making it the fastest selling Japanese PS3 game and providing a huge boost to PS3 sales in the country. Enterbrain figures show that 77,208 PS3s were sold in Japan in the week ending June […]

According to Media Create first day data, Metal Gear Solid 4 sold approximately 300,000 units on its first day on sale in Japan. The game went on sale Thursday. Around 170,000 units were of the limited edition, apparently. Thanks, NeoGaf.

Thank fuck for that. Gametrailers has posted the sixth and final part to its Metal Gear Solid retrospective, wrapping everything up with an attempt to actually explain away the game’s ludicrous plot. After the link. Find all the other bits here.

That’s better. Famitsu’s posted pics from the Akihabara Metal Gear Solid 4 launch (via GameFront), and there are people laughing, and everything. There’s a chap there with his bundle, looking all happy and shit, so we can rest easy. Space time continuum restored. Phew. Thanks, Blerk.

It’s a Snake photo overtron. Kotaku’s posted some photos from the MGS4 launch in San Francisco. These are your classic “men in a line” variety, but there is a picture of a man in a white coat with a knife, which kind of saves the say.

This lot’s from Kotaku, and includes a picture of Hideo doing a “thumbs-up”, which is probably about as good as a picture of him smiling. All this actually makes us want to play the game. Goddamn you, Kojima.

Konami’s put out solid [fired – Ed] details of the American Metal Gear Solid 4 “star” signing sessions in the US. There are times, places and named for New York, LA and San Francisco events after the link. Thanks, Joystiq.
